MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Steve Traviss relaxes in the new pop-up park in the 2600-block of Shaughnessy Street in Port Coquitlam that was officially opened last Friday with live music and art demonstrations. The temporary park, on a site in the city’s downtown where four buildings were destroyed by fire in August 2015, features benches, picnic tables, umbrellas for shade, planters and a 65-foot-long mural of the Golden Ears Mountains by Vancouver-area artist Laura Bifano.

Coquitlam City Centre residents are being warned to be vigilant when walking their dogs after a cougar was twice spotted in the area this week.

According to the BC Conservation Officer Service, the animal was seen at the corner of Glen Drive and Johnson Street Monday evening before being seen again on Lasalle Place the next night.

In both cases, the animal approached a person walking their dog.

“This behaviour is a little bit unusual,” said conservation officer Marc Plamondon, who noted that while cougars stalk pets, they are usually deterred when a human is present.

“They see it isn’t going to be a quick and easy meal.” see CAREFUL, page 6

LOVING, CARING, CLEANING

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Michaela Sumpter scrubs a headstone last Friday at Coquitlam’s Robinson Memorial Cemetery, the final community initiative of Love My City Week, a series of projects by volunteers to build community in the Tri-Cities by helping out. Some of the projects included cleaning up streets and the Lions Park trail in Port Coquitlam as well as free haircuts at both locations of Rami’s barbershop. The initiative wrapped up with a celebration last Saturday with live music and entertainment at the amphitheatre in Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park.

PUBLIC TRANSIT

Distance pricing gets OK for Metro Van transit Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

TransLink’s mayors council gave approval in principal Thursday to a distance-based fare system for rapid transit.

The mayors gave the goahead after a fare review report was presented during a council meeting at the transit authority’s headquarters in New Westminster. The review recommended a new payment model be developed based on the distance travelled by SkyTrain, Canada Line and SeaBus users.

There was no recommendation to change the current flat fares charged on buses and for HandyDART. With the approval, TransLink will begin researching a fare structure. The report suggested a flat rate for the first five kilometres — expected to be around the current one-zone rate of $2.95 — and then an increase for every kilometre travelled up to a maximum of the current three-zone fare of $5.70.

According to TransLink’s report, about two-thirds of commuters will pay about the

same as they do now.

TransLink still needs to figure out how to implement the new system with its Compass card. Monthly passes will have to change as well based on the maximum distance users travel on each trip.

The report recommended approaching the provincial government to explore the possibility of expanded discounts for seniors, low-income people, children and youth.

The review also said expanding off-peak discounts is worth investigating because it could help reduce overcrowd-

ing on the system. But to be effective, the discounts should target times and locations where overcrowding is the worst, the report said, noting that doing so would result in less revenue and would require funding. The review recommended pilot studies be done on how best to implement such a change.

The report also recommended West Coast Express go to station-to-station-based fares, but that won’t go ahead until consultation with WCE riders is done. newsroom@tricitynews.com

BELCARRA REGIONAL PARK

Bring water if you go to Belcarra park It’s BYOW for Belcarra beach goers for the next few days.

Anyone picnicking at the popular Belcarra Regional Park beach area should pack some water along with their picnic fixings.

Metro Vancouver parks supervisor Marcel Labreche said a leak in a water pipe has drained the park’s well water-fed reservoir. That forced the regional district to close the concession building and washrooms Wednesday.

Portable toilets were brought in while the leak was fixed, which crews managed to do

by Thursday, and the washrooms were reopened.

But even though the water service had been restored, a boil-water advisory is in effect at the park until the water in the system has been tested by the Fraser Health Authority. Until then, it is recommended park patrons bring their own water for drinking, cooking, washing food or washing dishes.

Labreche said Fraser Health is attempting to complete all of the necessary testing by Saturday. Metro’s website (metrovancouver. org) and Twitter account (@ MetroVancouver) will provide an update when the park’s water is cleared for use.

Bear numbers are down – trash fines, too Change in garbage pickup schedule one factor: city Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

Changes to Coquitlam’s garbage collection schedule and an extensive outreach and enforcement campaign are being credited with reducing the amount of animal attractants being left on private property — and that has resulted in a drop in the number of fines handed out.

So far in 2018, only 2,202 violation notices have been sent to residents for unsecured garbage, a 53% decrease from the 4,703 handed out during the same period last year.

“We are very encouraged by this and believe the improvement is likely related to a variety of factors,” said Steffanie Warriner, Coquitlam’s manager of environmental services divi-

tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO

There have been fewer reports of bears in garbage on collection days so far this year compared to the same period last year. sion, noting the use of stepped up enforcement, education and outreach, and a newly designed violation sticker for bins with garbage brought to the curb before collection time.

She said she has seen “a notable and widespread increase in awareness among Coquitlam residents.”

A new curbside collection schedule, where residents in

eight bear-prone areas have their garbage picked up between 7:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., has also reduced the quantity of animal attractants left out at the curb for long periods of time.

As part of the initiative, Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, Eagle Ridge, Ranch Park and Chineside have their garbage picked up between early while the rest of the city has its gar-

bage picked up between 1 and 7 p.m. on collection day.

According to a staff report, the number of calls about bears in garbage on collection day is currently 50% below the average number from the same time last year.

But some residents are still not getting the bear aware message. So far this year, 2,125 warnings have been issued along with 77 fines, mainly to people with garbage left out at the curb ahead of their designated collection time. Fines are $500 but if first-time offenders pay early, that is reduced to $250.

Across the Tri-Cities, there have been close to 745 calls to WildSafeBC’s Wildlife Alert Reporting Program since the beginning of the year. In the last week, there have been 70 calls to the line. In more than 200 reported cases, the caller was able to confirm that the bear was attracted to garbage in their area.

CAreFUL wiTh DOGs continued from front page

In the first sighting Monday, the person was able to get back into their house safely with their animal. In the second, the person made a lot of noise and was able to scare away the big cat.

For now, conservation officers are asking residents to be cautious when walking their animals, particularly in the evening or in the morning, which is when most cougars are most active. He said signs will be posted in the area to let people know of the sightings.

When a person sees a cougar, Plamondon said it is important not to panic. They should: • make themselves look as large as possible; • pick up their pet or child and keep them facing the animal; • slowly back away while maintaining eye contact; • and make as much noise as possible.

“Let it know that you are not prey,” said Plamondon. “You want them to know that if it tries to do anything to you it is going to get hurt.”

• If you see a cougar, call the Conservation Officers Service RAPP (Report All Poachers and Polluters) toll-free number at 1-877-952-7277.

Shuttle numbers on rise in PoMo Mario Bartel The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody’s Shoreline Shuttle could become a regular summer feature, says Mayor Mike Clay.

Seven weeks into the pilot bus service program that links Inlet Centre and Moody Centre via Rocky Point Park and Brewers Row on summer weekend afternoons and evenings, its ridership is growing, according to the city.

The free service experienced a slow start, with only 92 riders on its opening weekend in June.

But last weekend, during RibFest, when Port Moody’s Rotary Club paid for increased frequency of the service to every 15 minutes to make it more convenient for people attending its event at Rocky Point, 928 riders hopped aboard the bus at one of its 13 stops.

According to statistics compiled by the city’s engineering department, ridership on the shuttle jumped to 127 on its second weekend of service, June 8 to 10, and then jumped again to 149 and 198 riders in the weekends that followed.

An extra day of service over the Canada Day long weekend, which included Golden Spike Days and the opening of the Friday night market in the parking lot of the PoMo

Station Museum, helped swell ridership to 747 before slipping back to 209 for July 13 to 15.

Clay said the numbers are encouraging and the service is making it easier for residents and visitors to explore various parts of the city without having to rely on a car or fret about parking.

“I heard a lot of conversations from the other riders that they were learning of new areas and businesses in the city,” he said.

Clay said the flexibility of the service so the city can adjust it to accommodate demand on busy weekends has been a boon.

The city is spending $50,000 for the 20-passenger service, which runs a circuitous 8-km route every 30 minutes from 4 p.m. to midnight on Fridays;, 1 p.m. to midnight on Saturdays; and 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays until September. It was implemented to relieve some of the congestion at Rocky Point Park and Brewers Row, especially during events like RibFest, Canada Day celebrations, the night market and the Sunday concert series.

Schedule adjustments will also be made for Car-Free Day on August 19, and the Labour Day weekend.

New crosswalk at rocky Point Mario Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

A new, temporary crosswalk will be installed on Murray Street just east of the Moody Street overpass to make it safer for people crossing between Rocky Point Park and Brewers Row. The interim crossing will be equipped with flashing beacons to alert drivers and temporary curb bulges to direct pedestrians to the marked crosswalk. Four parking spaces on the north side of Murray Street and two or three more on the south side will be eliminated to improve sightlines.

Port Moody’s director of engineering and operations, Jeff Moi, said the temporary crossing, which is in addition to the existing pedestrian crosswalk at the east end of the parking lot to Rocky Point Park, is a way to discourage jaywalking while the city works on a more permanent plan to deal with congestion along Murray Street. He said placing the new crossing at the foot of the pedestrian path leading off the Moody Street

MARIO BARTEL/ThE TRI-cITy nEwS

RibFest drew big crowds to Rocky Point Park and Brewers Row last weekend, meaning more people crossing Murray Street. overpass makes it more likely people will use it.

“If we can accommodate them there, it’s less likely they’ll find another place to cross,” Moi said.

But Coun. Diana Dilworth said the addition of a second pedestrian crosswalk will likely increase frustration for motorists along the busy traf-

fic corridor.

“Commuter traffic coming through the community heading east is quite painful, to say the least,” she said. “We may be making this much safer for pedestrians but it is at the expense of the efficient traffic movement of vehicles.”

Dilworth suggested adding a delay to the pedestrian-

activated lights so traffic would have a chance to flow smoothly for a spell, but Moi said that’s not practical as there’s no legal requirement for pedestrians to stop before entering a marked crosswalk.

He added the city would continue to employ traffic control people during busy summer weekends to help manage the flow of pedestrians across Murray.

Several improvements to the Murray Street corridor have been given priority in the city’s capital plan, including the extension of the bike path, addition of traffic signals and better pedestrian access to the Moody Centre SkyTrain station. But Moi said the design work for many of those won’t begin until fall, with construction targeted for this winter and next spring. The project could also comprise a complete reworking of Rocky Point parking lot, he added.

The new crosswalk is budgeted to cost $25,000 and Moi said the work will be expedited to have it in place as soon as possible. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

The Tri-CiTy News

Brad West wants Greg Moore’s job.

Thursday, the three-term city councillor announced he’ll run for mayor of Port Coquitlam in this fall’s election.

West, 33, is the first person to declare his candidacy for the top seat after Moore told The Tri-City News last fall he would not seek re-election.

A Riverside secondary school graduate, West said he’s using the slogan #MadeInPoCo for his campaign to show “my hometown pride.”

“It’s who I am. I’m a lifelong resident of Port Coquitlam and I want to represent the families here. There are a lot of issues going on, and solutions I want for my community.”

POCO COUN. BRAD WEST Since first being elected in 2008, West has served as chair on every city committee; currently, he leads the smart growth committee that considers land-use planning.

If elected, West said his focus will be on affordability, safety, sports and recreation, and “implementing family-

friendly policies.” He also plans to keep property taxes low, grow economic development and develop more housing choices.

His platform can be found online at bradwest.ca and on social media via Facebook (BradWestForPoCoMayor) and Twitter (@BradWestPoCo).

West is an alumnus of the University of Victoria (bachelor of arts in communications) and St. Francis Xavier University (diploma in Catholic ministry). Last year, he completed a leadership program at Harvard University. He works as the communications and political action co-ordinator for the United Steelworkers’ District 3 office.

Council and school board elections will be held Oct. 20 in all B.C. municipalities.

Amy Lubik is hoping to find a seat on Port Moody council at the end of the rainbow.

Lubik, who led a delegation that secured a commitment from council to install a rainbow crosswalk in the city, will run for a seat on that council in the Oct. 20 municipal elections.

Lubik is a former cancer researcher who now works in the development of public health policy. In a press release, she said she’s running for council because she “believes in fostering growth that promotes community well-being and inclusivity.”

July to August

Lubik is the third candidate for city councillor to officially declare an intention to run.

She joins Richard Biedka and incumbent Meghan Lahti.

As well, Mayor Mike Clay is running for re-election, with Coun. Rob Vagramov challenging for the top job.

Union grieving firings of workers accused of theft Coquitlam RCMP investigating the alleged thefts Janis CleUgh

The Tri-CiTy News

The union local representing city of Port Coquitlam workers has launched grievances to challenge the terminations of seven former employees due to alleged theft of city property.

CUPE Local 498 president Gary Goff said the grievances were filed against the municipality after the public works staff members were let go recently (he is also employed in public works).

Goff declined to comment further as the firings are now under investigation by local Mounties. A spokesperson for CUPE BC also would not comment.

Last week, the city made a formal complaint to Coquitlam RCMP after PoCo civic staff were notified by email of management’s decision.

The email stated the seven workers were fired over allegations of theft — mostly new copper pipes.

Tuesday, city council unanimously revised its policy to give relief from all taxing authorities — including the municipality, Metro Vancouver and TransLink — to charities registered under the Canada Revenue Agency.

To be eligible, a charity must have at least 75% of its services used by PoCo residents.

Earlier this month, the city’s finance and budget committee turned down a staff recommendation to give permissive tax exemptions to all non-profit groups with property in the municipality; that would have amounted to a loss of around $345,000 to the city’s bottom line, if all applied.

Karen Grommada, PoCo’s finance director, told The TriCity News Thursday that if council approved all the charitable applications for tax exemption, it would cost the city about $50,000 in foregone taxes.

Currently, 19 non-profits (operating on city-held land), places of public worship and private schools (Our Lady of Assumption) receive tax exemptions from PoCo city hall, for a total of $391,185 not collected.

Under the provincial Community Charter, tax relief is automatically granted for properties with schools, public hospitals, public worship, and provincial and municipally owned public buildings and land.

The charter also allows city councils to give permissive property tax exemptions to charities and non-profit groups. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

erty is conservatively estimated at $75,000,” the email read.

“The price the city originally paid for the property is much more than that.”

The seven employees,

whose service with the city ranged from one and a half years to 21 years, are accused of stealing the copper pipes over a 10-year period.

The circumstances sur-

rounding and resulting from the firings were raised by two residents at Tuesday’s council meeting during the last question period of the current term (question period ends three months prior to an election campaign and the next election is Oct. 20).

Wednesday, Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Mike McLaughlin told The Tri-City News police officers are working with PoCo city managers and, separately, “gathering our own evidence” to consider recommending criminal charges to Crown counsel.

Meanwhile, in a statement, city spokesperson Pardeep Purewal said the city’s probe into the copper theft is now over.

“Our priority has shifted to reviewing the structure, processes and procedures in place for monitoring the inventory, usage and disposal of city property and implementing measures to help prevent such thefts in the future,” she wrote. “We have re-prioritized the work within the department and have made arrangements to use external resources if needed.”

She declined to comment on the specifics of the union complaints. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

OUR OPINION

INGRID RICE

Keep it clean

Recently, delta mayoral candidate Sylvia bishop unveiled a code of ethical conduct, pledging that all those affiliated with her Team delta slate would conduct themselves with integrity during the lead-up to the oct. 20 civic election.

The fact a politician has to make such a promise speaks to where we’re at as a society but, perhaps, the most interesting aspect of her nine-point code is that it extends to anyone associated with the slate. That’s because nastiness and name calling typically doesn’t go on between candidates, who are generally respectful of one another during elections, but it can flourish in the dark underbelly of the campaign where trolls lurk. for as long as there have been elections, there have been supporters who have done whatever they can to help their candidates of choice, even if it meant crossing a line. The 21st century equivalent of knocking over an opponent’s lawn sign is to spew venom about them digitally, a practice that’s been made exceedingly easy with social media. any effort to raise the dialogue above where it now depressingly finds itself should be embraced by all involved.

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION? this week’s question:

would you support a code of conduct for tricity civic candidates and their supporters?

last week’s question:

do you support the province’s new hiring plan for major infrastructure projects?

last week: YES 31% / NO 69%

EDUCATION

SOGI ed. teaches kids about diversity of the real world

E

llen deGeneres officially came out just over 20 years ago on her hit sitcom Ellen. Her openness about her sexuality — a first in Tv history — created a storm of controversy. I can still remember it so clearly, the “Yep, I’m Gay!” magazine cover and the public backlash that ensued.

I can also remember my nonchalant reaction when I first heard the news. I was 19 and had grown up with friends who had two moms or two dads. I had BIANCA BUJAN always been aware and accepting of the diversity of families, and I didn’t fully understand why Ellen’s coming out was such a big deal.

Today, as we scoff at some of our southern neighbours taking a step back in time, the same seems to be happening in our own backyard as protests emerge against SoGI education in b.C. according to the SoGI Education website, sexual orientation and gender identity education is “an effort to create safe, inclusive environments that are respectful of differences and maintain the dignity of all individuals.” It is a platform that includes resources and learning materials that focus on: DelIVeRY 604-472-3040 NewsROOM 604-472-3030 DIsPlaY aDs 604-472-3020 classIfIeD aDs 604-444-3056 n

• policies and procedures to reduce discrimination, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts for all students; • inclusive learning environments, including SOGI- and LGbTq+-friendly signage and word choices, to create a positive and welcoming space for all students; • lesson plans that teach diversity and respect, and include examples of SoGI topics and LGbTq+ community members in students’ lives and society.

SoGI is not meant to be a subject like math or English — there are no plans for a SoGI class; rather, it offers resources to help guide conversations when the topic comes up. and it’s a valuable and important step in the right direction for our children.

Some parents, however, believe the introduction of SoGI education in schools to be harmful, confusing and unnecessary.

Chilliwack school trustee barry Neufeld came out against SoGI, stating that he believes transgender children will “grow out of it” and are in danger from adults and “social engineering.” a protest outside the Richmond school board included parents holding signs that read, “don’t mess with our children!” and “Parents have rights!” one mom said in an interview that “the school board should focus on education, not ideology wars.”

Led by anti-SoGI group Culture Guard, a rally was recently held in Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park. a press release from Culture

Guard regarding their province-wide Stop SoGI rallies reads: “Indoctrinating children with SoGI-related sex activist propaganda and ‘gender fluidity’ lunacy has never been an educational goal, policy or service that parents were consulted on or involved with.”

The consensus amongst anti-SoGI protestors seems to be that “gender ideology harms and confuses children,” but by wishing for our educators to refrain from recognizing differences amongst their students, are we not harming our kids more than helping them? being gay is not learned and one quick Google search will answer the curiosities of those children who have not been allowed to learn about diversity. Wouldn’t you rather your children learn about sexual orientation and gender identity from trained educators?

Lesson plans outlined include learning that families come in all shapes and sizes, and that no one should feel limited by stereotypes or be teased as a result. Children will also learn about racism, misogyny, sexual harassment and the impact of language and action.

The fact that people would protest a program that aims to discourage discrimination is disheartening and distasteful. as a mom of three, I welcome SoGI, and encourage other parents to consider the consequences of keeping your child in the closet when it comes to the diversities of the real world.

This land is our land The Editor, I would ask residents of the Tri-Cities to guard the land owned by the communities.

That land, left to us by those who have gone before and stored for our future beneficial use, is held in trust by us and by our councils for generations to come. Its use should be governed by the cities forever and never be sold off for shortterm gain, even if that includes some element of social or below-market housing.

While it is easy to be lured into surrendering ownership to a developer who includes in a much larger project some small portion of the dwellings to be affordable rentals or condos or small homes, that temptation should be resisted by the electorate in favour of perpetual ownership of the land and different forms of construction partnerships so that future generations’ needs are not sacrificed for today’s warped markets.

This land is a key element in a long-term, sustainable growth strategy. Once surrendered, that land is lost forever, so let’s not let that happen.

HOW CAN THEY VOTE ON THIS?

An illustration of towers planned by Beedie for the former Safeway site on Austin Avenue in Coquitlam.

The Editor, Re. “Austin towers scaled back to meet city regs” (The Tri-City News, July 13).

It still baffles me as to how Coquitlam’s mayor and councillors can vote on critical zoning decisions when some have accepted financial campaign contributions from developers.

Most members of the public are likely unaware of this fact. Just review the B.C. election disclosure of each member of council to see what I mean. Campaign contributions are sent directly through the development company or a holding company, both of which present a conflict of interest.

If you were wondering why most votes on a development are rubber-stamped by mayor and council, you may now have a better understanding why.

(Letters, The Tri-City News, July 25), “Mayor shouldn’t get $48k” (Letters, July 18) and “$48K payout for Moore when he leaves office” (July 11).

I am writing to support Mayor Greg Moore’s $48,000 severance referenced by letter writers in The Tri-City News.

While I am no fan of bloated government spending, and our small local business has seen more than a 325% increase in our property taxes since 2008, I do not fault the mayor his severance.

This is money that has been accrued and accounted for since council agreed to this policy, much like any other benefit offered to staff and employees in any organization.

In his term, Port Coquitlam has had a full time mayor who, in my experience, has been responsive to any of our business concerns as

well as very dedicated to improving the city, creating interest in and “growing” Port Coquitlam, and guiding a council that I can say will listen to any concern and act upon that, whether or not they agree on those concerns.

Mayor Moore leaves after 16 years of service on council with no pension, and close to two decades of working life in front of him. The severance works out to six months pay, quite reasonable in most workplaces.

INVASIVE SPECIES

Battle of the hogweed Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Victory appears to be close at hand for Coquitlam in its battle against at least one invasive plant species.

The prevalence of giant hogweed, the sap of which is toxic and can cause severe skin inflammation, has been significantly reduced in the city, with only one site left that has been treated and monitored. Close to 40 cases since 2006 have been treated and monitored with no signs of reoccurrence.

Despite the fact giant hogweed is receding across the city, Caresse Selk, Coquitlam’s urban forestry and park services manager, said staff will have to remain vigilant to ensure it does not return.

“We will need to continue monitoring the giant hogweed sites well into the future,” she said. “The seeds can remain viable in the soil for up to 15 years, so it’s an ongoing battle.”

Selk credits the city’s Bad Seed campaign and there is an online reporting program (coquitlam.ca/reporthogweed) that has allowed staff to deal with issues before they spread.

“We’ve been proactively monitoring and removing giant hogweed for the last 13 years,” she said. “Persistence pays off.”

But that does not mean the war against invasive plants is over. English Ivy, morning glory and Japanese knotweed

Selk said the city hosts work parties throughout the year with community groups, churches and businesses to help remove the plants in areas where they are commonly found, such as parks and green spaces.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

The city is asking residents to pitch in and remove invasive plant species from their property. Residents are asked to help by: • learning how to identify common invasive plants at www.coquitlam.ca/badseed; • being aware of the city’s pesticide use controls and the substances that are restricted at

www.coquitlam.ca/pesticides; • containing or removing invasive plants on their property to prevent them from spreading; • never dumping garden waste or hanging baskets into parks or natural areas; • disposing of invasive plant materials in the green cart, with the exception of giant hogweed, which can cause burns (best to call a professional for hogweed removal); • cleaning off boots and shoes to get rid of hitchhiking weed seeds to prevent these species invading a new area; • and volunteering to participate in a local weed-pulling event and helping remove invasive plants from a Coquitlam parks.

ALIGNING OUR VALUES TO ACHIEVE A VISION STORY 3 OF 4 The Kwikwetlem First Nation (KFN) is developing the Kwikwetlem Business Park to help resolve the pent-up demand for industrial land in Metro Vancouver which is currently at a record low of 1.9%, the lowest in North America. The centerpiece of Phase One of development of the Business Park will be the KFN Health and Wellness Centre. Development of this project will provide greater access to health and wellness services in the Tri-Cities area for both indigenous and non-indigenous people.

Kwikwetlem First Nation envisions a facility that is a meaningful contributor both economically and socially to the Tri-Cities community. The facility is designed with an indigenous perspective, blending conventional western medicine, alternative wellness therapies and a model of informed client care/customer service that are essential in facilitating balance within the health needs of each individual.

The focus of the KFN Health and Wellness Centre will be on client and patient care. Services will be provided by each practitioner to ensure the highest quality of care with dignity and respect to all clientele.

Case management teams will triage through the health services within the facility. Expert consultation will be provided in socially, culturally and informed trauma services.

On August 23rd, KFN will host their 2nd Annual Golf Tournament to raise awareness and funds for the KFN Health and Wellness Centre.

Amanda Smith works out at Rocky Point Crossfit in Coquitlam with her two-year-old daughter, Brooklyn, as she prepares for this weekend’s CanWest Games functional fitness competition at Coquitlam’s Percy Perry Stadium.

MARIO BARTEL THE TRI-CITY NEWS

FUNCTIONAL FITNESS

CanWest Games to find fittest of them all More than 900 fitness athletes will be at Percy Perry Stadium MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Amanda Smith wants her two-year-old daughter to know she can do anything she sets out to do. That’s why she brings Brooklyn along to her thricedaily workouts at the gym and often hoists her on her shoulders to provide extra weight resistance during rigorous reps of squats and burpees.

This weekend, little Brooklyn will have a front row seat at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam when she watches her mom compete at the third

CanWest Games.

The event is the secondlargest functional fitness competition in North America.

More than 900 athletes from as far away as Texas and Newfoundland will hoist heavy weights, haul themselves over walls and do walking handstands to determine who is the fittest of them all. There are also team competitions.

Morgan Ruby, one of the organizers of the event, said functional fitness doesn’t allow its athletes to specialize; they all have to be strong, agile and fast.

“You train all day to not have a wheelhouse,” she said.

For Smith, 30, the multidisciplinary nature of the sport where a workout can consist of 30 different tasks in 30 minutes fills a void left when she stopped playing competitive

fastpitch and her own training at a gym got boring.

“I was going to the gym and I didn’t know what to do,” she said.

A friend recommended Smith get a personal trainer who introduced her to functional fitness, which is also known as CrossFit. The fast-paced nature of workouts meant Smith could push herself for an hour in the gym in the morning and then get on with her day. And the immediate benefits she felt to her strength, stamina and agility served her well in her career in law enforcement.

Smith started competing to measure herself against other functional fitness fanatics. She got good enough to qualify for a regional championship. Then she got pregnant.

Smtih stayed away from the

gym for 15 months to focus on motherhood. But the itch to compete was still there.

Getting back into the gym with a toddler in tow was no easy task, Smith said.

Childbirth and breast feeding had changed her body and her schedule revolved around Brooklyn’s needs.

“It’s all about routine,” Smith said.

Relying on lists and post-it notes to ensure no chore or errand was undone, Smith made time for her workouts, often incorporating Brooklyn into them. Her strength and agility improved. She consulted a nutritionist to ensure she was eating the right foods to fuel her exercise regime that eventually increased to two or three hours of the day, six days a week.

The effort paid off when Smith improved her ranking

from 529th among women in the Canada West region last year to 18th this year.

Heading into this weekend’s competition, Smith said she wants to “take it to another level.”

She’s been working out three times a day. She starts with strength exercises like lifting, swinging heavy kettle balls and doing pull-ups. Then she shifts her attention to endurance and cardio fitness by doing handstand push-ups, muscle-ups and dips on the rings, skipping rope and riding the “assault bike” that works her arms while she spins the pedals.

Usually Brooklyn is nearby, charming other athletes, playing with the staff.

“I want her to see there are no limitations,” Smith said.

And that’s kind of the goal of functional fitness, said

Brian Carter, another CanWest Games’ organizer.

To prove they’re the fittest, competitors at the event will have to complete a series of challenges in the weightlifting “garden,” on the track, and on the main stage that consists of a 70-foot long rig with pull-up bars and rings for 12 competitors at a time. The tests are measured by weight, time, and to the eyes of judges or a combination.

Carter said the competitors are split fairly evenly between men and women.

• Competition at the CanWest Games begins at 4 p.m. Friday and continues all day Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Finals are scheduled to begin at 2:20 p.m. on Sunday.

Adanacs pierce NW ’Bellies in final’s first game Second and third games in Coquitlam this weekend MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The Coquitlam Adanacs scored three unanswered goals in the first period and remained in control the rest of the game as they defeated the New Westminster Salmonbellies 9-3 Wednesday to take a 1-0 lead in their bestof-seven BC Junior A Lacrosse League final.

The Adanacs looked right at home in New Westminster’s venerable old Queen’s Park Arena as they moved the ball with quick precision, especially on Chase Scanlan’s first of his three goals that culminated a nifty three-way passing play from Dylan Foulds and Dennon Armstrong.

Larson Sundown opened the scoring before the game was three minutes old and Colin Munro’s weak shot from the boards that seemed to handcuff Salmonbellies goalie Erik Kratz late in the period sent the Adanacs into the dressing room with a 3-0 advantage.

Adanacs’ goalie Christian Del Bianco looked impenetra-

ble as he stopped all 14 shots he faced in the frame, including three breakaways.

The Salmonbellies finally found some holes in Del Bianco’s armour when Cam Garlin and Tre Leclaire scored in the second period to pull the home team to within a goal.

But the Adanacs scored the next six goals to snuff any hope of New Westminster opening the series with an upset.

John Hofseth and Scanlan

— with his second — scored in the latter half of the second period, then Munro, Hofseth and Scanlan again, as well as Foulds, added to the visitors’ margin in the third.

New West’s Nathaniel Kozevnikov made it 9-3 with just over four minutes left in the game.

Tempers fared late in the game when Bellies’ sniper Tre Leclaire exchanged blows with Coquitlam’s Tyson Kirkness.

Both were sent to their dressing rooms for the rest of the night.

Coquitlam fired 47 shots at Kratz in the Salmonbellies’ net, while Del Bianco stopped 34 of the 37 shots he faced.

Game two will be played tonight (Friday), 7:30 p.m., at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. That’s also where game three will be on Sunday, 7:30 p.m. mbartel@tricitynews.com
